After 10 years, 2023 marked her return with a new album Freedom Legacy released on March 24th on Baco Records in which she reveals her multiple musical influences through authentic texts. This album is built as a kind of collection of thoughts that she leaves to her fans and her children. A legacy that brings together her deepest questions about Human condition and relationships between people, in which she sings about her fights towards freedom and independence for women, with militant lyrics bringing hope to new generations. An introspective and musical journey on new roots, reggae and dancehall riddims.
Queen Omega is originally from San Fernando in Trinidad. Encouraged by her mother, she began appearing on local talent shows from the age of 9, wrote her own calypsos and even went so far as to rap on national television. She later sang backing vocals for producer Kenny Philips, accompanying many soca artists in the studio and on stage. Raised in a musicians family, she quickly became passionate about reggae and dancehall music, but also grew up listening to soul artists like Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston, jazz and traditional music from Trinidad, foundations that will inspire her throughout her career. Inspired by her Rastafarian faith, she also rapidly developed her writing skills and it was in the early 2000s that her career began on stage in Jamaica. She performed there with the Solomon Band for the Caribbean Music Expo, met producer Mickey D, who took her to London the following year for a first series of liveshows. Queen Omega has now entered roots reggae history as a feminine icon, with her unique voice and precise, conscious messages.
